What is the average house price in Leith?

How these numbers are made
- Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (85 in Leith), refreshed daily, as of 5 October 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings. Figures for Leith cover listings within about 1.5 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.
- Off market and time listed: Off-market counts include only listings confirmed off the market after a short grace period; "typical time listed" is time advertised, not time to sell. We have tracked Leith since May 2026.
- Edinburgh comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of Edinburgh, so both sides of every comparison share one basis. Where a comparison spans all property types, some of the gap reflects what is for sale here.
